Baltimore had scored already as Upton Jr led off in the bottom of the first inning against Ubaldo Jimenez, and he uncorked to straight-away center field with an exit velocity of 108.8MPH according to Statcast. That tied the game at 1 which looked like that was being threatened as JJ Hardy came to the plate with a runner on first in the 2nd inning.
